In the sixth, Elliott Glynn (UConn) came on in relief and gave up two runs. The first came on a double by Jeff Lusardi (Missouri) scoring Charlie Thurber (Tennessee). In the next at-bat, the catcher Dan Sheppard (Iowa) hit a single to left scoring Lusardi to put the Harbor Hawks up 2-0.
In the seventh, it had seemed that Glynn (2009 CCBL all star) had settled down until he gave up a double to Jason Nappi (Harding University). Nappi then scored on a single by Dane Phillips (Oklahoma State), whos grandmother was listening to the broadcast as well. Those three runs were all that was needed as Hyannis beat Orleans 3-0.
Jack Leathersich (UMass-Lowell) pitched the eighth and the ninth for Orleans. He allowed no runs and no hits while walking one and striking out five.
The best pitching of the night, however, was done by Hyannis's starter Tyler Ray (Troy). Ray went seven and two-thirds innings while allowing no runs on four hits and three strikeouts.
Jason Esposito (Vanderbilt) went 2 for 3 in just his second game with the team.
The Orleans Firebirds now have a record of 4 wins, 5 losses, and 0 ties. They travel to Harwich tomorrow to take on the Mariners at Whitehouse Field at 7:00pm. Elliott Glynn will make his first start of the season on Sunday in the double-header against Bourne at home.
